Bona Terra Salon, 414 E 63rd Street, is a newly constructed salon in the Brookside East Property. The project began in July, 2014 when the owners contracted George Cevillo, the premier Avada Salon designer in Hammond LA, to design the Salon interior. During the design phase, Etopa, the Aveda furniture and fixture company, was selected to provide the interior equipment and Kansas City’s Kessinger/Hunter was selected as the general contractor.
